El Jalisciense, Warner Robins, GA

 This is my go-to restaurant whenever I'm home from work. I've been going here for somewhere near 30 years. It's what I compare all other Mexican restaurants wherever I travel. I've had many dishes here and they are delicious. However, I haven't done a review since starting my food blog so, here goes...

I went home to visit my kids this past weekend. My daughter wanted to go to El Jalisciense for dinner. We waited approximately 20 minutes to be seated, but it was Friday night, so, all-in-all, not too bad.

We got our complimentary chips and salsa.


I ordered some bean dip, a piña colada, and one of my favorite dishes: El Combo. The bean dip is simply a layer of refried beans covered with white cheese sauce. Simple but delicious. I love the chips here. They are a medium thickness and served warm and crispy.


The piña colada was ok. Certainly not the best I've had but it works when you have a craving.


On to El Combo. It comes with one taco, one chile relleno, one tostada, one enchilada, one burrito, beans, and rice. Similar to the "Little of Everything" from El Rodeo Grande in Prestonsburg, KY, from one of my previous reviews.


The taco is filled with seasoned ground beef, lettuce, tomato, and shredded cheese. Typical but good. Same with the tostada, minus the tomato. The chile relleno had beef, beans, and cheese. The pepper seemed to be cut into strips rather than a hollowed out pepper. Still delicious. The enchilada is a corn tortilla filled with ground beef and topped with red sauce and melted cheese. The red sauce had a little too much oregano, which made it taste a little more like spaghetti sauce than enchilada sauce. The burrito is a flour tortilla filled with ground beef, topped with red sauce and melted cheese. Due to the red sauce and ground beef, there is not much difference in flavor from the enchilada. The rice was moist and had a little spiciness to it. The beans were bland.

Overall, a good dish and a great restaurant. I will continue to dine here.

Buc-ee's Snack Review: Coconut Toffee Cashews

Image
Good day fellow Foodies! So, this blog is all about the food. Not just restaurant food, but any and all foods. And without further ado, here goes my first food product review. Today I'm blogging about what has probably become my number one favorite snack: the Coconut Toffee Cashews from Buc-ee's! These things are off-the-chart amazing! The flavor and texture combination is dynamite! The crispiness of the toffee and the crunch of the cashew with the softness of the coconut flakes... And the flavors! The sweet caramel of the toffee with the saltiness of the cashew and the coconut flavor... This snack is a powerhouse all the way around. Now, I know that there are not a lot of Buc-ee's stores around the country. But they are slowly expanding. We just got one close to my home town. I try to stop and buy a couple of packs whenever I'm home or I come across a Buc-ee's in my travels. Whether you live near a Buc-ee's or find one while you're traveling, I highly recom

Billy Ray's, Prestonsburg, KY

Image
     So, for dinner this evening I tried a local place called Billy Ray's in Prestonsburg, KY.  The only reason I gave this restaurant a 3 out of 5 star rating is because of the customer service. Customer service was excellent. Otherwise it would have been a 2 star rating. I ordered sweet tea to drink, the fried mushroom appetizer, the seafood platter, and the tropical cake for dessert.      Unfortunately, all of the fried food seemed like it was pre-breaded frozen fare. The fried mushrooms were decent. The only saving grace was that the food runner, not the server, went to the kitchen himself and made me some fresh-from-scratch creamy horseradish for the mushrooms. For me, this is a must for fried mushrooms!      The seafood platter had 2 fish (unspecified) fillets, 5 fried shrimp, 2 fried scallops (yes, just 2), and 2 deviled crab. So, 4 fried proteins and 4 different frying styles. The fish fillets had a cornmeal crust, the shrimp were battered, the scallops had almost an overco

Bodine's Biscuits, Prestonsburg, KY

Image
  Yesterday I went to Bodine's Biscuits in Prestonsburg, KY, for breakfast. 3 out of 5 stars. Blandly average. I ordered the Big Breakfast Platter which came with 3 eggs, 2 meats, and a biscuit. I also ordered a side of sausage gravy and a home made apple fritter. The apple fritter was extremely dry. The pastry had no flavor, except for the little bit of apple in the middle. I took a couple of bites out of it then decided to take the rest back to my room with me so I could have some milk with it to help moisten it up. Next, the Big Breakfast Platter. I ordered my eggs scrambled and I got the sausage and shaved ham for my meats. The eggs were simply scrambled, but overcooked and dry. No seasoning, not even salt and pepper. The ham and sausage were well cooked. The ham was salty. The sausage was flavorful but I overheard the manager telling another patron that it was just Jimmy Dean sausage. The biscuit was crispy on the outside, dry on the inside, and bland, but it kind of worked if
